Support Carel and Tracey After Eaton Fire

On the evening of Tuesday, January 7, 2025, my in-laws looked outside to see flames coming over the ridge near their Altadena, CA home. They quickly grabbed a few essential items and fled. The following day, their fears were confirmed: their home of 12+ years had been destroyed by the Eaton Fire.

Many of you know my father-in-law, Carel, from his acting roles in Twin Peaks, The Addams Family, Star Trek: TNG, Men In Black, and many other titles. He's also a skilled photographer and digital image editor.

My mother-in-law, Tracey, is a dedicated family medicine doctor who works extremely hard. She's a model mom and grandmother.

We're so very thankful they were able to safely escape the oncoming blaze, but like so many others, they lost everything to the Eaton Fire. Please keep Carel, Tracey, and all those affected by the fires in your thoughts and prayers.

All funds will be used by Carel & Tracey as they seek to recover from this tragedy and begin the process of rebuilding their lives.

For the record: I'm Mike and I live in Arizona. I've been married to Carel & Tracey's daughter for 11 wonderful years and I've known them for more than 22. We live in Arizona but had been visiting Altadena just three days before the Eaton Fire began.
